Where did that message come from? It certainly didnt start in england. This is yet another move by the brits to distance themselves from the U$A. I'm a little surprised that Britain could legalize it before anyone else, but i think that they are starting to see the light and that heavy handed lock em up and throw away the key approach isnt working. Unlike the states where we have lots of open space to build nothing but forced concentraion camps, err labor camps..err prisons..britain has only so much space to deal with and they cant deal with the over flowing prison population by making it BIGGER. The time has come for treatment over punishment, and it is time for the truth about cannabis and prohibition's nauseating history to be told.

I thought maybe someone would have mentioned something Peter Jennings covered on the 6:30 news on Friday. It was about mostly senior citizens that ordered their prescription medicine from Canada- which is illegal.

He said Americans spent $208 billion on prescription drugs last year. The coverage by reporter Bill Reading talked to a woman that made $15,000 a year. She said by ordering from Canada her drug cost would go down from $1068 to $640. They talked to another woman named Carol Lee Hatch that takes Tamoxifin for breast cancer. She said it cost $13.95 from Canada and $187.00 in the US. The company they cited in the article was Canadian Meds USA and they have a website although I have done a google search to find it.

Reading said it does violate drug laws and echoed the FDA statement that the reason they do not prosecute the offenders is because action would punish the elderly, most on fixed incomes. The FDA said they cannot quarantee the purity of the drugs. Reading went on to say they are mostly the same as you would find here. The little country of Canada can negotiate with the drug companies but big old Washington is helpless. Maybe we should hire their negotiators. Of course that assumes that the US government actually cares about controlling cost even as the deficit approaches $6 trillion.

Now here we have seniors violating drug laws. We have underage people smoking everyday and underage alcohol consumption. And that is no big deal because it is not marijuana. What happened to the DEA bull$hit about "We take our job seriously" at a time when the DEA is protecting from hempseed oil. It is all screwed up as everyone already knows.

My main interest in mentioning this is what is going to happen when GW Pharacueticals gets their whole cannabis products on the market. Yea it is ok to break the law with some things but how about cannabis. The prohibitionist are in a pinch. From what I have read, a foreign national would not be allowed to be arrested if it is a legal prescription from his home country. I still wonder what would happen if you had dual citizenship say with Canada, and you got your prescription there and came here with it.

The California primaries set a new record for low turnout- 31%. If everyone would vote against all of the incumbents we would wipe a lot of the basdards that puretuate this prohibition and propaganda out of office. For goodness sake vote. VAAI
